Interesting, one of the minor cosmetic flaws is the metallised door release on the passenger side. It's cracked and peeling. I'm going to try my luck getting it fixed under warranty as there's still 2 years factory warranty remaining
Any 308 GTi 270 owners here?

Thanks for that. Might try to find myself 2 of those repros as im also missing part of the i's. Is there a specific seller that has them ?
Yes, 'amg_enterprise' is the current seller on ebay in UK. Just search Peugeot 308 GTi badge and they should come up for around $18.48 each.
Some pics of the Forza front discs on my car if anyone needs front discs in future. Contact Brakes Direct for a quote.
Are they noisy when cold at all?
Noisy after being wet sometimes. I don't notice any noise when they are cold.
Cheers
Thoughts on this... Would the big brakes fit under a set of 18's? Provided the offset and back space etc was correct? It's probably one of the few modifications I'm thinking of. After seeing a couple of images of the widebody TCR race cars they do sit well on 18's with a bit of sidewall... Won't hurt the handling either I imagine.
Thanks for posting. I've now officially owned mine for 8 hours.
This is going to get a little bath and some desperately needed wax/sealant tomorrow. Unfortunately can't do much driving as my wife and kids are stuck with covid. Car cleaning it is!
Oops ... My wool mitt snagged the boot lid badge. Snapped the G.... Off to eBay.
I got one off Ebay a little while ago just to have a look at the quality. It was a metal one very heavy. Not sure how long these ones will stay on with double sided tape.
Awesome! Question... On your track car are you running the stock alcon brakes? And are those wheels 18"?
Thanks. Do you mind if I ask you more questions about this set up? I have not driven the car long enough to say for sure, but I feel like I'm giving up a lot of grip on bumpy corners. I reckon a little sidewall squish may help out. As nice as they are I don't think the 19's are right on a road car this light.
Sure
Cool.
I know yours is a track car but do you think swapping to 18's would gain some benefits on the road? I'm thinking slightly improved ride and less tyre noise. And those speedy wheels, are they lighter and heavier than the OEM 19's... Wondering if you weighed them by any chance?
One last question. Have you done anything to the gearshift on the track car? Eg. A short shift?
I don't really want to modify mine but I'm willing to change a few little things if they improve it. Also looking into a tweak to the exhaust... Res delete? Just to get a little sound back. It's so quiet!
Tyre noise to me seems more tyre model dependent than rim size.
Weighed both with tyres on Carbine are lighter from memory by a kilo or two
No short shift yet
Resonate was deleted when i bought it WOVR
It also came with MCA golds on all four corners
Just getting a plate LSD fitted for the weekend's event
